From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Plead my cause, O Lord -The word “plead” means, properly, to argue in support of a claim, or against the claim of another; to urge reasons for or against; to attempt to persuade one by argument or supplication; as, to plead for the life of a criminal, that is, to urge reasons why he should be acquitted or pardoned; and then, to supplicate with earnestness in any way. The original word used here -רובrûb- means to contend, strive, quarrel; and then, to contend before a judge, to manage or plead a cause.
